3rd Pov

"Yume-Chan! Brec-Chan! Happy Birthday!"

The group of friends shout at the twins. Who have turned 15(?) Years old today. Pulling a string which contains confetti. Which falls on not only the sisters. But everyone else in the room. Including baby Bree.

Brec sits on the hospital bed with a book on her lap. A surprised but happy smile on her lips. Bree is in a small hospital crib next to the bed. Riku stands next to it trying to make sure that the group of friends don't make his daughter cry. Yume stands next to Brec sharing the same exact smile that her sister has.

They both smile at their friends. Happiness written all over their faces. Yume and Subaru share a quick gaze but are inttrrupted by Laura.

"First things first! Let's help get Brec out of that hospital bed!" Laura says with enthusiasm.

Brec chuckles.
"I can get up by my ow--whoa!"

She doesn't even get to finish her sentence as Laura and Yume litarlly yank her off her hospital bed.

"Hey be careful with her!"
Riku shouts in a protective tone. Bree now lays in his arms. Asleep.

Brec laughs at him. When she stops she shares a loving gaze with him.

Laura snaps her fingers.
"Okay, we get it. You two love each other, don't rub it in us single people faces."
Laura says sarcastically.

Brec looks at her confused.
"I thought you were dating Shiro? Oh--if dAT BOI BROKE UP WITH YOU I'M GONNA--"

"No!! I'm still with Shiro!"

"Well then you ain't single!"

"I meant Ako! We still don't know the situation between her and Kanata-Kun!"

"It's.... Complicated...."
Ako replies.

Everyone giggles.

"Open our presents!" Honoka shouts.

"Aren't they suppose to wait for that?"
Mahiru says confused.

"Yeah but we can only stay here until 8 pm and it's 6:40 so..."

Brec chuckles and takes the present that Koharu offers her.

When opening it she see's a very light pink. When she fully opens the present she finds that light pink winter gloves lay in the box. Nearly wrapped up, as expeccted from Koharu of course.

"I didn't see you wearing any the whole time we were at the cabin. So I made you some! For later this year!"

Brec stares at the gloves. Like as if she's starstruck. She shakes her head and smiles at Koharu.

"Thank you Koharu-Chan! I can't wait to use them!"
She says with a smile.

She places them aside and moves onto the next present.

Yume smiles brightly at her sister from the present she gave her.

In the box is a white dress with light red flowers on it. Spaghetti strips for the sleeves. A dress Yume had been eyeing for awhile. Looks like Honoka had been paying attention.

"Thanks Onee-Chan! I've been wanting this dress for so long!"
Yume says with the brightest smile ever.

Brec smiles at her sister and turns to her last present. Which is also from Honoka.

She slowly unwrap the ribbon. And gently lifts the top of the box. Light blue present tissue comes into view. Brec lifts the tissue up and also gently un-wraps the tissue.

When finished, she's surprised by the object that was wrapped.
Wrapped in the tissue, was a uniform for Otonokiza students. The ribbon is for first years.

"Wow! Brec you got your uniform early! Isn't that amazing Onee-Sama! Brec?"
Yume turns to her sister and is surprised by what she see's.

There. Her sister hold the uniform in her hands which are shaking lightly. As tears fall from her eyes. A suprised expression on her face. Her eyes slightly wide and her lips forming a small o.

Brec pulls the uniform in close to her chest and bends over. As silent tears fall down as she slightly shakes.

"Brec?"
Riku asks. Taking note of his hopefully one day sister-in-law rubbing her back.(Yume)

Brec looks up with a sad smile on her face.
"It's beautiful Onee-Sama! I love it!"
She says as tears still fall down her cheeks.

Yume smiles at her sister. Happy that she's happy. They both get up from the floor and bow.

"Thank you all for the amazing gifts!"
They say at the same time.

Yume smiles at Brec as she see's her happily getting along with Koharu and Mahiru. Considering that Brec is either a Cool or Sexy type.

Yume turns back to Subaru and holds up her new necklace. Which has snow falling down in front of a rainbow.
(Get it?)

"I love this present Subaru! Espically because you didn't give a me a boild octopus one like you said."
She says glaring at her boyfriend.

"No. They were out of stock anyway."
Subaru says. Gaining a darker, but joking glare from Yume.

Yume smiles and looks at everyone.

It's amazing how so many people can care about each other.

It's amazing how happy so many people can be all at once.

And how

Just

Like

That.

It can all be taken away.

"Brec?"

Yume turns to the sound of her sisters name. Who is standing frozen.

"Brec?"
Mahiru says once more. Worried.

Out of nowhere, she falls to her side. Koharu catching her.

"Brec!"

Yume yells. Dropping her glass and running to her sisters side.

It's amazing how one small action of life can change everything.....
